Sepultura - it means a grave or a burial place
Nasum - it means to be born
Pig Destroyer - they wanted a name like "cop killer" but less obvious
Anal Cunt - Seth chose a combination of the two most offensive and dumbest words he could think of

Free Beer used to play Sydney pubs in the 1980's- they always played to a full house.
There is a big band in OZ called Machine Gun Fellatio- how good is that?
Die Toten Hosen is German for "The Dead Pants"
A few industrial bands have excellent names like Einsturzende Neubaten, German for "Destroy New Buildings". My ex used to listen to Throbbing Gristle and also
THE ARMAGEDDON DILDOS

Saw a band name once that I haven't been able to get out of my head since: Squirrel Nut Zippers

Trivium is a Latin word that means "the three ways" or "the three roads." For me, my favorite band name is Metallica. Sounds cool IMO.

:D

03-15-2006, 08:04 PM

The ideal name, I think, is:
Iron Scrotum!!!

But my favorite real band name is Scary Kids Scaring Kids . It's funny and it's catchy. People remember a name like that.

Pickleboy03

03-15-2006, 08:04 PM

Well, if I do say so my self, the best band names are:

Fall Out Boy
Queen

I mean, Fall Out Boy didn't even come up with the name, they didn't have a name at a concert and they asked the crowd for a name, and some dude yelled out "Fall Out Boy" and it stuck. Also, turns out it is the sidekick of Bart Simpson's favorite superhero, Radioactive Man. How sweet is that!

Then, Queen, ok, well, they are gay, and it just fits, and they are the best classic rock band EVER!

The Band.............. honestly, how much cooler can you get (theres no sarcasm here either).

hey people, we all know that the best band name would be motley crue. I love the way they spell crew(crue) and its true, they all look totally different from eachother. They truely are a motley crue. and THEY ROCK!!!!!

i agree, motley crue has the best name and they are the best

How about Cannibal Corpse, that's a pretty crappy name for a crappy band.

Once again everyone is entitled to their own opinion, and I think you suck. This thread is about what you think is the best, not the worst. But, that's ok since your music taste is so obscure and varied.

And to make this relevant, I think Bathory, Zyklon, Amon Amarth and Limbonic Art are some of the best names. But if I had to choose I'd simply go for Bathory.
